Student Financial Aid & Scholarships
Candle 1: A College of high opportunity & high achievement
Monmouth has long made a challenging educational experience available to students from all socioeconomic backgrounds. For Monmouth to remain a college of high opportunity and high achievement, bright and ambitious young people must be able to flourish without regard to their financial backgrounds and without asking them to shoulder overwhelmingly burdensome debt.
Endowed scholarships and prizes are awarded using a variety of criteria, such as academic achievement or a combination of merit and need. Scholarships can be renewable, provided the student continues to meet the academic requirements of the College and the stipulations of the particular scholarship. Scholarships provide support for tuition and are administered by the Office of Student Financial Planning. Prizes are cash awards given directly to students.
